In a statement released Monday, the city says it is looking for nominees who have achieved their entrepreneurial success after immigrating here, and who make a positive contribution to the city’s economy and community in a number of ways ranging from hiring, sourcing and purchasing locally to mentoring other entrepreneurs.

The judges will be a panel of community and business leaders who will review all submissions before selecting winners, who will be announced at a special event planned for later in the year.

This is the third year for the awards. Past winners include Julia Chen of Advanced Machines and Materials, Ysabel Li-Lopez of Nurture-Elle, and Manu Sharma of OAK Computing.

A submission form can be found on the city’s website. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 30.
